Field record
It settles over loose sand and works its wing edges under itself in small shivers until the sediment closes over its back and only a thin damp outline gives it away. I have driven the drone directly over one at a meter's altitude and seen nothing but ripple marks. It only breaks cover when something else disturbs the sand first, rising out of the seabed like the seabed changed its mind.
Habitat
Catching it
A Coastal-tier catch needs at least a Fine Mesh Net— anything under that rating can never hold it, whatever the throw. Bought at the Quartermaster’s counter for 90 crystals. A held net inks this entry for good and pays its ledger bonus on the spot.
